Title
29 July 1810
E Longsdon at Longstone to her son, John Longsdon at London. His letter arrived just after the George Morewoods left to return to Thornbridge [parish of Ashford in the Water, Derbys]. She has difficulty in advising John on a suitable present for a lady. If he gives wearing apparel it must be something manufactured in England of the best and more elegant quality. If she had known earlier possibly something in the ornamental way of the Derbyshire sort and manufactory could have been sent.
Their father is pleased with William who improves. Mr Morewood's conversations with their father have been helpful. She worries over the dissatisfaction between John's father and brother. It wears away her health and makes her seek retirement and quiet at her native place [Bubnell, parish of Baslow, Derbyshire] to recuperate. She adds news of family visits.
